Darling in the Daisy's!

On the train

Shawn loved his cherry slushy! He was pink polka dotted the rest of the day.

My girls love the tea cups AKA The Turksih Delight.

Shawn's 1st & only ride @ Busch Gardens!

Shawn's first ride at Busch Gardens was the Little Clydes- he was really digging it and obviously so proud of himself. The wonder of it quickly passed and he decided to try trick riding. The ride operator was obviously less than impressed with Evil Knievel's stunts- he was kicked off the ride! Some people just freak out at 14 month olds standing in the saddle of moving horses. Wimps!

Stunna Shades!

Awesome Clearance sale @ Rue 21- got the girls shades for $1! They got 2 pair each. We are sunglasses & flip flop kind of girls! Shawny's shades are from The Children's Place circa 2008.

Cabin Improvements

Finally got the new floors down in the cabin and I LOVE LOVE LOVE them! Probably wouldn't appreciate them 1/2 as much if I didn't have to live with horribly ugly stained plywood floors since last Nov/Dec. This is such a relief to finally have this done...

Did the bathroom floor too. Please note the super organization on the shelves. It was my mission last time we were there.

Love the new flower pot & the Portulaca.

Thought the patio furniture made the porch look a little a little more homey. Big improvement over the mismatched canvas camping chairs.

Not home improvement- just the biggest slugs I have ever seen! Left big old oozey trails on the window.

Another BFF visit.

Fun in the baby pool! I'm so glad that Jess lives pretty close to Williamsburg. I miss that girl! Hunter and Shawn have a great time playing with each other. They'll be great friends forever (we've already decided this for them) It's a good thing one of them isn't a girl- we might would arrange their marriage! ;0)

Jess and I decided that when Hunter gets a little more hair we're going to get their hair cut into real mohawks! Right now I'm enjoying Shawny's little Dutchboy curls.

Every family has its skeletons

Yup! Thats my husband feeling up my dad at the Womanless Beauty Pagent at the Campground July 4th weekend. I'm thinking of using this picture for next years Christmas Card. It will be a refreshing change from kids in front of the tree. ;0)

I call this one "I hate you so much right now!" I guilted him into doing this for the girls & he's making me ride Apollo's Chariot at Busch Garden's. This may be my last post...

Dad had WAY too much fun! His stage name was Lola & he loved every minute of it. Would have given anything to have had the video camera this night!

This is one of my favorites. The look on his face is PRICELESS! Doesn't he look like he's blushing? Poor baby he was so mortified. "Trixie" didn't shake her booty much when she was introduced and paraded out at the dance. ;0(

Our favorite place to be!

Updated look- maybe it will be inspiring...

I have been so slack with my blog lately. Not that I haven't had things to blog about- as a matter of fact life has been especially interesting the past few months. Lots of good- lots of bad, but who wants to blog about bad things? Who wants to blog about leaky roofs, delinquent kids, going through 2 microwaves in less than a month? That one ended well- got a gorgeous new stainless microwave now if only the toaster oven would go out! Just kidding! Would rather decide to replace it then have to replace it. I can live without a toaster oven- but the microwave is pretty essential at least in my household. My New Years Eve resolutions are pretty much null & void, but I am going to make a serious effort to be better about keeping up with the blog...

Fun in the LG pool!

Lake Gaston Pictures

Chris was totally in his element!

The paparazzi was spotted- notice the flying fish parts he was using as a deterrent! UGH!

Cleaning his catch

A modern day Viking

Chris's favorite pasttime!

Chris and Cheddar- Gone Fishin'!

Come on in- the water's fine...

7/11th's of our kid crew on the dock...

Shawn did get in the lake, but had the most fun eating sand!

Buffy was totally geeked about being able to jump off the dock into the water- she would kill me if she knew I posted this on here!

The McLawhorn's had a 10 person float- it was AWESOME!

Obviously the sun was a little bright... Katherine was having no part of the murky lake that was infested with fish and snakes until the 10 person float was brought out- her safety has its price apparently! ;0)
